Paint like music by Brian Eno

[nooninho]

peindre n'est pas affirmir

[Ametore]

i liked it

[tony501]

Saw this in Brighton today, gets better each time i go!!

[korggirl]

kandinsky paved the way to this kind of art.

You can have good ambient music and bad ambient music, and Eno certainly epitomizes the former. I have a feeling that Classical composers were intending to evoke certain emotional/intellectual reactions in people, which is exactly what Eno does. Hey, isn't that art?

[joethfc]

@midesti Sorry but I disagree, music is art and there is no such thing as good or bad art. It's all opinion.

[laurion69]

It's strange that when Eno ventures upon tonal music (that is "intelligible music") the level of it is always very elementary, without modulation, without orchestration, without thematic structure...

Listen ti great composers before to yell "this is art".

[nobushjrnonono]

Brian Eno isn't Tchaikovsky and Tchaikovsky isn't Brian Eno.  You can't criticize somebody for not being talented in a completely different form of composition and music. "Listen to great composers before you call this art" is such an hierarchical statement and typical of a classicist.

Just because it doesn't appeal to your aesthetic sensibility doesn't invalidate it's status as art.

[thewhitebarrywhite]

not to rush to the defense of brian eno, but the ground he covered was of course unimaginable in Tchikovsky's time.

[nerdcunt69]

I get quite annoyed when people try to compare two completely different genres of music. Muzak is not in any way supposed to replicate Classical.

[HermanChess]

indeed. in fact I consider any form of personal expression as art, and equal in every way, there is no defined way to do proper art.

[SenaraBlenethwyn]

If you listen to any of Eno's work you will hear the very skill and artistry is often in it's simplicity...in fact, much detail is very sophisticated and intricate at times, but to be weaved in with such subtlety that it washes over you without overwhelming

[williestratton]

yes but the thing is, he had the idea for this, he thought about the space, and he thought about the best possible music to suit it, and he was the first ever to do that. It's the kind of thing I guess where you really have to be there, and the area kind of sums it up. But it's really cool

[jennimi13]

@ inglebritt god does love you like he loves Moses! see you do get it!

[inglebritt]

This was at the Baltic in Gateshead recently.

Me and my friend sat there for about an hour and still didn't understand what the hell it was about.

Although I left with this feeling that perhaps God loved me, like he loved Moses.

[RamosArt]

Brian eno,always good!

[KindofBlue1234]

I saw this exhibit in San Francisco 20 years ago. I still think about it; really cool.

[ebiasmusic]

The most successful artwork is something that can bring out lots of different perceptions, and people started to talk about the "REAL" meaning behind it, while only the creator will know what it actually means if there is a meaning ever.

[chaleweyyy]

who knows, as far as we werent there... maybe it isnt necesarily understandable... therefore is more stupid to think it is... anyway, Eno heavily rules...

[sparkalot]

Yep, The life of Brian! lol. Eno is the man.

[danylele2]

this is art, who doesn't understand is really stupid

[darost]

ENO rules.

[twilightgal]

Could a version of this be used at Gitmo to torture prisoners?

[kerryoco]

yeah but then every once in a while one would have a transcendent experience, and you know how tightass they are about escapees there....

[edisonoside]

I think hours and hours of televised Bushisms would be more effective.

[bluntsafety]

Thanks for putting that up.
